Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly Announces Statewide Face Mask Mandate
Today, Kansas was added to the growing list of states that are now requiring face masks to be worn in public spaces. The Executive Order will go into effect on July 3, 2020.
...“This is a simple, proactive step we can take to keep Kansans at work, get our kids back to school, and keep ourselves and our neighbors healthy,” Governor Kelly said. “Wearing a mask is not only safe – but it is necessary to avoid another shut down.
“Remember – my mask protects you, and your mask protects me,” Governor Kelly said. “We’re all in this together.”
Under the order, most Kansans must wear masks in stores and shops, restaurants, and in any situation in which social distancing of 6 feet cannot be maintained, including outside. The EO will be released on Thursday and will provide specific guidance regarding under what circumstances masks must be worn."
